  7. Lack of investment in fleet capacity New aircraft Grow at least at market rate • Low investment in product • Advertising • Airline relaunch • Product refresh • Tight schedules affecting reliability • Detailed punctuality study • Build flexibility into schedules • Phased Maintenance • Block maintenance • 7 day operation • Maintenance planning well within tolerance • Direct Sales • Price setter • Recapture lost share of agent and corporate markets • Improve overall offering Australian Domestic Market: Strategy Change
